A great deal of snow has fallen in the High Tatras recently and this has enabled the launch of a 2.5-kilometre sledging run from Hrebienok to Starý Smokovec. Thus, lovers of winter sports can enjoy sledge-rides to their heart’s content, the Interez.sk website wrote on December 5.

Day and night sledging is popular among families, as well as among groups of friends. A funicular railway brings tourists to the top of the Hrebienok resort, and from there, a comfortable ride all the way down to Starý Smokovec can be made.

What was once only a special event, for example at New Year, will become a regular tourist attraction. The sledging season will be opened on December 8. Ticket sales for daily sledge rides and daily sledge rental are open between 8:30 and 16:00. However, there must be enough snow on the track – which is currently the case.
